What's this - K-3?

The start of a trickle of product images out of China or Peru or somewhere about K-3 is however overdue, if it is coming in October.

EDIT: in looking at the mirror box of the posted image, and comparing it to the K-5, you can see that the lug for the two gold power zoom contact plugs on the posted image is noticeably further forward, almost right up to the mount edge, than it is on the K-5, where it sits somewhat more recessed. (Pic below related).

In the original pic, you probably wouldn't be able to mount a lens and turn it to lock.

Moderators.... This thread has been duplicated in the FF Rumor section of the forum. Probably best that this be moved there, and one of the two closed. We might as well keep the forthcoming flaming and back biting in one section of the forum for sanity's sake.

It's a fake. The MOUNT is facing to the left and out of alignment with the body plus the colour of the body immediately surrounding the mount is slightly different. The mount is also wider on the right hand side suggesting it's been scaled to fit the body.

To me the mirror/sensor assembly appears to be quite a bit out of plane to the rest of the body. As previously stated, which suggests it got planted there from a different cam. And to give it a bit of legitimacy the lens release button got altered to fulfill this purpose.
